The Kayena model at Catharina Gardens is a two-storey new-build home with parking on the property. The residence combines modern interior design and environmentally conscious elements with views of the Koral Tabak nature areas, Sint Joris Bay and the Caribbean Sea.
The homes at Catharina Gardens are designed to reflect the natural surroundings on the eastern side of the island. Their design considers space for living, leisure, working from home and access to the outdoors. The development is intended to suit both growing families and single-person households, combining a sense of community with privacy.
Catharina Gardens homes are built in three variants. The original plan was to build a larger Shimaruku model next to a smaller Kayena model, although this was adjusted during construction in consultation with buyers according to their preferences.
The Kayena model has approximately 148 m² of living space, three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a modern kitchen and an inner courtyard with a high atrium. Sliding doors connect the living room to the back garden. Options include a swimming pool with a pool deck, a covered structure, or a covered structure with a roof terrace.
Santa Catharina combines residential development with the rugged nature of eastern Curaçao. Country roads connect the area to the north and south of the island, while a main road leads to Willemstad city centre, approximately 25 minutes away by car. Secondary roads lead to smaller residential communities. The neighbourhood has street lighting and well-maintained homes.
The nearby Koral Tabak and Sint Joris Bay nature areas offer opportunities for walking, visiting native caves and mountain biking. The shallow waters of Sint Joris Bay are also popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing.
The Catharina Gardens area offers views of the Caribbean Sea and northern coastline, Sint Joris Bay and Tafelberg. Sunrises can be seen over the sea or the Koral Tabak hills, and the skyline of Bonaire is visible on clear days.
Local attractions include the ChiChi Shop and Serena Art factory, the Aloe Vera Plantation and shop, and the ostrich farm and restaurant. Mangusa Hypermarket, schools and pharmacies are also in the vicinity.
